Hi All,

I was curious if anyone personally knew someone or heard of someone who has taken the MCAT more than 3 times and was accepted into medical school.

yes

yes

Can you please elaborate. What did they score? Where did they go? Any info would be appreciated.

someone on sdn scored something like 28, 27, 27, 30 and got into GW. theres your assurance.

It depends on a number of factors. I think that if you have taken the MCAT more than twice you should contact the school to see how the admissions committee's will look at that. It also depends on how much time was between each exam. If you take it four times in 10 years that won't be a problem. But if you take it four times in two years the school may a have a problem with that. For any school you are interested in I would speak to admissions about it. I hope you are accepted to the school of your choice. Good Luck!!!

I think some schools have a maximum, like MSU.
